What are you listening to Part the Third

[Craig Sawyers]

When we bought our house, newly built, around 30 years ago, I jumped up and down on the floor - "woohoo - it is a concrete raft! Let's buy it!"

So fortunately I get none of the bouncy floor stuff at all 

In an earlier house maybe 35 years ago, which did have bouncy floors, I had a custom slab of slate made (from here http://www.delaboleslate.co.uk/ ) and put it on on wooden bearers which I screwed into the walls in an alcove for the deck.

But Stretch hand me down or not, that sir is a hell of a deck!

Piroshka, new Miki (Lush) project, this is great!

Holy smokes it appears as if we are actually talking about gear and doing sound comparisons and showing off our vinyl rigs.  I like this version of 2010

[Voltron]

@Craig Sawyers Although I blame, er credit, Stretch for pointing out the audiogon ad for the AMG Viella TT a few years ago, the hand me down was the vinyl record, not the deck on which it spun.

I can't wait to hear that sexy beast! But I have to admit that I'm having tonearm envy, because yours is so much longer than mine.

I have concrete slab floors as well. That plus this beefy damn stand, and there's no movement whatsoever.

This is an album I had no knowledge of. It's George Jones duets.

George Jones with Dr. Hook is uhm, interesting.

 

[Voltron]

I have no knowledge of George Jones, let alone his duets.

[swt61]

It's Opera.

 

 

Or Opry at any rate.

Poor James Taylor who has to use two names. 

[Voltron]

Dr. Hook doesn't even get a chair.

Elvis, rebel as always.

It's  Dennis and Ray. They didn't give the whole group credit.

That wasn't the greatest song choice, even though I  love Elvis Costello.

Where's Shel's chair?

[swt61]

Who is Shel?

If you're referring to Shel Silverstein, I don't think he sings.

Someone generously shared with me a bootleg of the first Porcupine Tree show I ever went.  I’m in heaven.

[robm321]

Very cool 😎

[blessingx]

They’ve posted the Drag Out the Holly replay for a few days. If you need some holiday music...

Boy am I dumb: I listened to I and II, and am about to listen to III (on Tidal). I have listened to this NM US first a few times, but the rice paper sleeves are so fragile that I hadn't noticed that, well: unplayed 45 single.

My 40th birthday is December 31. I'll listen to it then.

A fun playlist on Spotify  
 

[luvdunhill]

A. Krauss

It's hard for me to pick a favorite A Krauss album, but paper airplane is certainly at the top of the list. 

Beautiful setup!
